"Military family" takes on new meaning for a set of sisters who made history as the first to both attain the general's rank in U.S. Army.
Parents and their children, relatives, spouses and even identical siblings have previously risen through various ranks of the U.S. Army together, according to the military service; but this is the first time in 244 years that a pair of sisters -- Maj. Gen. Maria Lodi Barrett and her younger sister Brig. Gen. Paula Lodi -- is pulling rank in tandem.
On July 12, history was made as Lodi was promoted to the one-star rank of brigadier general, joining her sister, who is a two-star general.
Barrett is the commanding general of NETCOM, while her younger sister serves as the deputy chief of staff for operations at the Office of the Surgeon General.
Acting Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy said the sisters "represent the best America has to offer."

Cool!
Women in the military, stupid idea.
Did they get the promotions due to ability or history? I have my suspicions.
I know many women in the military that could kick your ass. My grandmother big Bertha comes to mind first, followed by Ina. ;-)
.Um, no. Too much Hollywood for you.
The women's US Soccer team practice against 15 year old boys because that is a fair match up. ( not really as the 15 Y.O. boys usually win ).
No seriously I do. They could literally out shoot you and kick your ass.
Stupid idea.
What is a stupid idea?
Mesh condoms?
Ha.
Women in the military; try to keep up.
Sure, the lady generals could have done General Patton’s job in WW2, right ?
re your tag: Just because you desire a spanking, please don’t put that thought out to the rest of us.
Case in point. Go talk to Joan of ark she would give you a good spanking.
I remember US Air Force General twins, Charles C. Pattillo and Cuthbert A. Pattillo born in Atlanta. General “Buck” Pattillo was deputy commander of REDCOM when I worked in the REDCOM HQ Building in 1980.
No, not even close.
You are really into spanking aren’t you .
Pretty easy to see happening in the affirmitive action atmosphere.
…..and they wonder why enlistments are down!
At least they aren’t commanding infantry.
Could Patton do the job these two officers are doing today?
